if we purchase goods Rs. 1000 interstate with CST Rs.200 and freight Rs. 100, then what is the Journal Entry ?? Actually my concern is that whether freight include in cost or showing separately because if we include in cost then service tax liability may effect

Carriage inwards is the shipping and handling costs incurred by a company that is receiving goods from suppliers. The most appropriate accounting treatment of carriage inwards is to include it in the overhead cost pool that is allocated to the goods produced in an accounting period. If this is a minor amount, it could just be charged to expense in the period incurred, with no inclusion in the overhead cost pool. Thus, depending on the accounting treatment, it may first appear in the balance sheet as an asset, and then shift to the cost of goods sold in the income statement as goods are sold.
